This is long overdue....
Our Cincinnati trip continued....
We woke up to a baby that slept through the night. :) Bob went to get breakfast (a homemade waffle for me...and by homemade I mean the hotel provided the batter and Bob fixed the waffle). It was SOOOO good, and much better than FROZEN waffles! He had a danish and a muffin (I think). Maleah shared my food. After a good beating from the shower head, we were ready to head out to Kings Island.
Ah...Kings Island. The cicada's were out in full force. We took quite a beating from them throughout the day as well. We had to stand in line for the awesome free tickets. Then we had to go through the metal detectors...weird because I have never done that with a baby stroller before. Bob made fun of me because I made that comment to the dude checking us through, and he (the dude) sort of made fun of me. For crying out loud!
Once we were inside, we headed straight over to the kid's area...
Ah, the kid's area. It's huge and there were actually things for Maleah to do! She first rode the LazyTown ride with Bob. Then I took her on the merry-go-round. Then all 3 of us went on the Scooby Doo haunted ride. By the time we were done with those 3, she totally understood the waiting in line, and stopped trying to get down, understanding something great awaited her. From there, we stood and watched some of the Dora show (she looked like a cabbage patch kid). Then we went to lunch...
Ah....LUNCH. FREE LUNCH at that. We went to the picnic area, where we were greeted with BBQ pulled pork, chicken strips, chips, veggies, rolls, beans, pop (again, all free) and we even got to top off eating with a dessert of ice cream. It was all soooo good, and, FREE! When we were done eating, we headed back out. Maleah and I then rode Azul (train from Dora). From there we went to the store...
Ah...the store. Everything seemed reasonably priced. We got her a new Dora hat, and she picked out Ming-Ming from the Wonder Pets. Once she had Ming-Ming, she crashed, HARD. We walked around the park, getting hammered by the stupid cicada's and relishing the free pop (all day long free pop) :) When she woke up, we got on the park train and took a ride, then went back to the Merry-Go-Round again. It rained, so we hung out under an umbrella while Maleah had her cookies. When it stopped, the line was free for LazyTown, so we all rode it this time around. After walking around the rest of the park, it looked like another storm was headed our way, so we decided to go to McD's for dinner before heading home....
Ah...McD's...so good. Their sweet tea is just awesome and the food was good too. I was so proud of Maleah. She did so well all day :) Then we headed home, she slept the whole way... (we'll get pictures on, they're adorable). Then we got home...
Ah...Home. :)
